Back pain is a very common issue but can be quite challenging to treat, because there can be many different causes, and you might need to see a number of different people. Sometimes, it might take you a while to find the right treatment with the right clinicians, meaning you waste time and money and most importantly, you end up taking longer than needed to get better.

We have a team of allied health professionals who have access to expert medical specialists, the latest radiology services and world-class hospital facilities.

We are both senior medical specialists who have been involved in treating patients with spinal problems for many years. We were often frustrated by how long it took our patients to get the right treatment, and the fact that we weren’t able to guide the ongoing rehabilitation after our spinal surgery or pain management. As well, we often saw that the rehabilitation that patients received was not always structured in a way that was based on a clear diagnosis or an evidence-based individualised treatment plan. We felt that patients with spinal problems deserved better, which prompted us to set up Backspace, a unique clinic comprising a group of expert clinicians and therapists all working together in one place, delivering medically supervised treatment to get the best possible outcome.
